We took a day to see Jerusalem from the highpoints to the north, south, east, and west. We climbed the tower of Lutheran Church on the ridge of the Mount of Olives (Augusta Victoria) from where we could see east the mountain ridges of the nation of Jordan and right down to the Dead Sea. This was clearer than any day that we had last time we were here. We went to the south where we could look one direction and clearly see the Old City of Jerusalem and another direction we could see the city of Bethlehem. At the end of the day we went as close to the West Bank as we will take the students and looked over the lands of the Old Testament from the roof of a mosque at Nabi Samwil (The prophet Samuel).
